SUPERBASIC FULL CONLANG STARTERPACK
By Sanh Deda · conlangconcept.alle.bg · meanaworld.alle.bg
Basically tried to create a kit for express creation of fairly good (although lexically limited) conlangs. It contains 8 pronoun categories,
9 basic conjunctions/adverbs, 13 adpositions/cases and modal verbs, and 52 other words – with derivation suggestions and hints.
je, nous [and their variations]
toi [and their variations]
ils [and their variations]
all, every, each, yes, universe
Non, nothing, neither
ce, ce [and their variations]
some, any, a few, whatever
what, who, où, when
Think of honorifics,
vocative, and formality
Can merge both, or use
“ce” for inanimate 3P
Do you want dual or
paucal?
Spanish uses “que” pour
“what”, “ce”, et “than”
et, ainsi, donc, aussi
mais, in contrary, plutôt
ou, either … or, whether
ce [conj], qui [rel. pron.], À, than, comme
yet, toujours, unprepared
already, ready
a lot, many, much
more
less
You can build superlative
Utilisant “more/less than all”.
There might be adjective
inflections meaning “very”,
like guapísima in Spanish
You have to choose your alignment, and which case is unmarked (si
applicable). How do morphosyntactic alignment and number interact?
for the sake of, dedicated to, instead of or BENEFACTIVE
towards, for or ALLATIVE
depuis, because of or ABLATIVE
près, par, together with or PROXIMITIVE/COMITATIVE
dans, à, on or LOCATIVE
like, -ish [adjective derivation or SEMBLATIVE]
away from, hors, without or ABESSIVE
à travers, across, according to or PERLOCATIVE
circle → around or CIRCUMLATIVE
utiliser [v] → with, par (par exemple. Utilisant) or INSTRUMENTAL
How do you derive verbs from nouns? Do they have an
infinitive form (Bulgarian hasn’t)? Do your verbs express
past, non-past, other tenses, and if the action is or will be
complete? Continuous aspect? Person and animacy? Is
evidentiality/certainty part of the conjugation, or do you
use auxiliaries or modal verbs to say “maybe”, “should be”,
“is said to be”, “could happen”? Do you differentiate
between realis and irrealis moods? How do you give orders
in your language, are there levels of politeness?
Do you have a copula (verbe “to be”)? How do you say “À
become” ou “to be a teacher” (Russian uses instrumental)?
can [v], ability, strong
will, want [v], command [v]
need [v], doit [v], devoir [v], duty
How do you treat
modal verbs and
modal
constructions?
How do you say “grandparent”?
Are kinship terms gendered?
How do you form mass
nouns (tree → forest,
book → library)?
human, person → man, femme, folk, people, tribe
child, offspring
parent, care [v]
sibling, cousin
nature, wild, normal
society, cultivate [v] → crops
tree → wood, forêt
grassland, grass, field
fruit → fertile, rich, abundant
complete, complet, continue [v], fulfill [v], satisfy [v]
desert, void → dry, poor, scarce, empty, hungry
montagne, hill, pile
sea, ocean → salt
eau (fresh) → lake, river
Where does your
conculture live? What
items or phenomena
are significiant there?
In case you use
“excluding” et
“encountering”,
think of participle
formation. Do
actif (et
passif) participles
indicate time? Peut
they be used
predicatively?
What creatures and
beings inhabit your
monde? Think of what
your conculture uses for
food and what they
have to defend
themselves from,
customize your vocab.
le
You can replace the
passive voice with
actif
generic
(“Stole
car”
instead of “The car
stolen”) ou
was

it with an
auxiliary verb +
passive participle.
